Laura Loveberry, a nationally-known inspirational speaker from Quincy, will be the keynote speaker when the Hillsdale Presbyterian Ladies Society meets on Wednesday.

The meeting is planned for noon Jan. 2 at the First Presbyterian Church, 31 North St., Hillsdale. (Use the Manning Street parking lot entrance).

Loveberry, best known for her sign-language ministry, is a Christian speaker who plants seeds of inspiration as she encourages audiences with her enthusiastic and heartfelt presentations.

Organizer Ruth Brown said Loveberry’s timely topic, “What A Wonderful Way to Begin the New Year 2013,” is the New Year’s-themed program planned during Loveberry’s winter break from being a dedicated elementary art teacher in the Quincy schools.

Loveberry was crowned Mrs. Michigan in 2007. Of all her accomplishments, Loveberry says that being a wife and mother is her proudest achievement. More information about Laura and her ministry may be found on her website: www.lauraloveberry.com.

The luncheon and program are open to the public and everyone, including men, are welcome to attend.

A free-will offering will be taken to cover the cost of the meal. For more information or to RSVP, contact Ruth Brown at 517-398-0116 at or
